Choate Ultimate Sniper Stock for Savage Help

uscsoldier · Feb 1, 2010

I picked up A Savage 10FP and I'm not sure which stock to get, I think I can figure out the Hole Spacing but I'm not sure about the "centerfeed" part. How do I tell if mine is centerfeed or not? Here is what I'm looking at

They have different action screw measurement. I believe they are 4.25" and 4.40 and you have to make sure you get the right measurement. Savage keeps changing and some stocks are not keeping up. I would call and make sure you talk to them and have the measurements and whether it is a blind mag or detachable as that makes a difference as well. Again call and talk to them on the phone. Good luck as I went through 3 orders before it was right. I should have called too and might have been able to avoid that.

Also make sure you don't order a 110 which is a long action.

I'll see if I can shed some light. Look down on the action from above and imagine a line from the barrel, through the action into the stock. Savage stagger feed mags feed each cartridge from either the left or right of that center line. A center feed mag pushes and holds each cartridge directly under the center line of the action. I drew a quick picture hopefully that help. I also believe center feed actions have the 4.4" spacing and stagger feeds have the 4.275" spacing (short action) longs actions have a 5.062" spacing. Hope this helps.
